Poli Sambuca

In 1898 the Poli family founded a distillery in northern Veneto. Today, generations later, star anise is still pressed by hand into a Sambuca that carries the whole house's craft tradition forward.

    Star anise distilled with Venetian craftsmanship - Poli Elisir Sambuca revives a recipe the Poli family produced from the post-war years through to the 1980s.

    Ekspertens beskrivelse

    Poli Elisir Sambuca is an Italian sambuca liqueur from the Jacopo Poli distillery in Schiavon, made by natural infusion of star anise in alcohol, bottled at 40% ABV.

    The Poli family has run its artisanal grappa distillery near Bassano del Grappa in Veneto since 1898, and today fourth-generation Jacopo Poli carries the tradition forward. The distillery produced sambuca from the post-war years until the mid-1980s, after which production was resumed due to rising demand. Elisir Sambuca is made exclusively from star anise, naturally infused in alcohol and then aged for at least 6 months in stainless steel tanks.

    Smag

    The liqueur is clear in colour with an intense aroma of aniseed, reminiscent of fresh fennel. The taste is velvety and pleasantly sweet, dominated by the star anise's characteristic, clean flavour without unnecessary additives.

About Poli

Poli is an Italian family-owned distillery, founded in 1898 in northern Veneto, where generations have specialised in producing some of Italy's finest liqueurs and spirits. For newcomers the Sambuca is a classic, anise-driven introduction to Italian aperitif and digestif culture; for connoisseurs it's interesting that the same craftsmanship that has made the house's Grappa famous also lies behind the Sambuca.

History & Background

The Poli family founded its distillery in 1898 in northern Veneto and has since run the business through several generations, focused on craftsmanship, quality and tradition. The range grew over the years to include Limoncello, Gin, Vermouth, Sambuca and Grappa, each category built on the same principles of careful, small-batch distillation. Today Poli is one of Veneto's most respected names in Italian spirits, carried forward by the family's persistence for more than a century.

Production & Style

The sambuca is distilled from star anise and other herbs, often with the same care and copper stills the family uses for its grappa. The result is a cleaner, less artificial sweetness than many industrial sambucas.

Signature Style
